British United Air Ferries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

British United Air Ferries (BUAF) was a British airline operating in the 1960s, that later became British Air Ferries and is now part of British World Airways. The airline was formed as a result of a merger between the Silver City and Channel Air Bridge airlines in January 1963.

Trading as British United Air Ferries Limited, BUAF had offices at Rotterdam Airport, Netherlands, and specialised in cross-channel ferrying of cars and their passengers to and from Continental Europe.

BUAF used an assortment of aircraft types, including Bristol Freighters and Superfreighters, and Aviation Traders Carvairs and operated from Lydd Ferryfield airport in Kent, amongst others.
